Let the world outside
forget us for a while,
as we lose ourselves
in these moments together.
Even when we don’t speak,
the silence is charged
with magic and meaning.
Hearts have their own language,
and ours are always speaking.
— John Mark Green / Lose Ourselves
"...Your heart is my favorite destination."
From the book The Light You Need II: Romantic Love Poetry by Christy Ann Martine and John Mark Green
This line is from a poem in the book The Light You Need II: Romantic Love Poetry.
I also wrote a short story inspired by it, titled "If the Stars Should Ever Die," which can be found in my book of short fiction, She Had a Very Inconvenient Heart. In the story, lovers face the end of the world together when a mysterious force begins killing the stars and devouring all light in the universe.
The way our fingers intertwine feels so natural and right . . .
This little romantic love poem can be found in The Light You Need II: Romantic Love Poetry, which I co-authored with my wife, Christy Ann Martine.
